Interested in tracking seismic activity or visualizing earthquake waves? IRIS – Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology – is a consortium that is funded by the National Science Foundation to operate scientific facilities for the acquisition, management, and distribution of freely available seismic data.
The Transportable Wave Visualizations enable viewers to watch seismic waves from around the world travel across the United States.
The education resources are also available from the Education and Outreach link on the front page, which includes links to animations, video lectures, lessons and resources, teachable moments, educational software, and seismographs in schools.
Thank you to blogger Karen Brooks who posted the link to the seismic monitor on Facebook.
